DIR. Thomas a. Keables had for .
day or so previous 10 Saturday been
circulating u petition amongst the par
ents OF the boys attending the High
School asking an investigation into the
charges against Thomas L. Graham,
principal of that school. Mr.. Graham,
hearing OF II, inferred that DIR Keablss
was doing 30 for the purpose Of injuriDg &
bin and so expressed himself. DIR.
Keables, while riding up Market street
on Saturday forenoon, 80 W Mr.. Graham
standing in front OF the Clayton House.
he stopped, and, calling Graham to
him, disclaimed any intention of doing
any injustice to him, bat that 1t was
for his own good that an Investigation
was called for rs we'll as for the good G.
the parents and the school. Something
WAS said, however, which rilsd Mr..
Graham. He understood DIR. Keables
to say that all the parents of the boyl
in the High echool signed the petition
and he said as II. b. McIntire came
up, Here Is one that didn't sign."
DR.. ksables did not say that sll ths
parents bad signed, but oil that h6 had
asked had si2aed. Mr.. Graham gave
Dr.. Kesbles the lie, and said some
thing about splitting In his face, wher
the Doctor drove away, saying Is h'
did 80 that he did not want TO talk with
one 30 uDRentlemsnly.

St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1887-05-28

The Pekin courts lately sentenced .
young man to the lingering death of .
thousand slices who had murdered his
brother by blood, but his cousin by
adoption. for unnatural cruelty. The
brother had usurped his place in the
house of his adopted mother, and finally.
when the victim was driven out, he sold
his wife and child and gave to his
adopted mother $26 out of the 90 which
he realized from this sale. To Chinese
eyes this was . praiseworthy transac-
ton. The wicked brother seized upon
this money given to the old mother, and
when tho other returned after q few
days and learned Of this crowning in
jury he promptly killed his brother and
his brotner's wife and child. The court
in passing sentence. was chiefly per.
picked - to whether he murdered his
brother or his cousin. The Judge
showed no leniency toward him, and
the moral to be drawn from the case is
that the way Of the poor in China is
hard. II he had had money he could
have secured relief; without it, he was
driven to take justice into his own hands,
which resulted in his shameful death

lunatics IN Russia.

DR.. KOvalehski. one of the most 10
nowned of Russian physicians. professor
at the Kharkof University. has made
known some serious facts relative to
lunacy in Russia. According to the
learned professor the number of lunatics
in Russia amount to at least 100000.
Only one-tenth can be accommodated
in asylums. or elsewhere obtain atten-
tion. DIR. Kovaleffski says that the treat
ment of the inmates is for the greater
part defective. Rich patients alone can
obtain careful attention; the INDECENT
are too often i'll treated. The number
of really skillful doctors in the asylums
is restricted. and rational treatment is
almost out of the question. The keep
ers are for the most part rude men. who
maltreat the unfortunates il not bribed
to kindness by relatives. The nourish-
ment is insufficient and Of bad quality.
Thousands of lunatics who can not b
accommodated in public or private asy-
lums walk about at large without re-
ceiving the slightest care. One meets
them everywhere on the roads in tho
often i'll used BY the heartless,
and then taking their revenge by setting
houses on fire or mutilating children
